An 85-year-old resident of western France was on his way to a doctor’s appointment when he accidentally ended up in Croatia, covering a distance of 1,500 kilometers. This was reported by Pravilamag.
The man, who lives in the commune of Châtillon-sur-Thouet, was supposed to visit his doctor in the nearby town of Airvault, located only 19 km from his home. However, the navigation system — GPS — malfunctioned and made him cross all of Europe.
During his long journey, the elderly man drove through France and Italy, spending about 20 hours on the road without stopping. He entered Croatian territory, stopped at a hotel, and was found there.
His family realized he was missing only a few days later and contacted the police. Authorities used military services to track the location of his phone.
Interestingly, the man has no health or memory issues and admitted that he himself was shocked by what had happened. According to him, he “just followed the GPS instructions.”
Currently, his family has already traveled to Croatia to bring him home.
